(e.g. epibenthic)

Found in coastal rivers and terminal segments of main rivers (Ref. 26100). Occurs in middle and lower reaches of streams, with slow current and underwater vegetation. Forms large spawning aggregations (Ref. 59043). Threatened due to habitat destruction (Ref. 26100).

Forms large spawning aggregations. A female spawns with one or a few males, which press the female against the substratum and eggs are released. These movements attract other individuals to start spawning. The aggregations disperse after about 20-60 seconds and many form again several times. Deposits adhesive eggs (Ref. 59043).
